The Vatican Museum! ✨
Holy smokes—this place was amazing. Here are some photos of some of our favorite pieces...but it is literally impossible to even remotely cover the scope of what we saw. I mean, the Sistine Chapel alone is enough to leave you feeling completely speechless (there are no photos allowed of the Sistine Chapel, so you’ll just have to take my word for it)! So many incredible pieces.
I loved Michelangelo’s unfinished sculpture (the Belvedere Torso in the sixth photo). In art history in college, I learned that the pope once asked if he’d like to finish it. He told them that it was finished—that it was too beautiful to be altered. I would have to agree! .
